Much has been written about the surge in solar manufacturing in the US since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In tandem with the IRA, that surge is being driven by buyers increasingly turning to domestic manufacturers to de-risk their solar panel supply.

The inflow of investments and the resulting rapid expansion in production capacity have been impressive. To date, the coverage of this growth has largely focused on core elements of the supply chain, such as polysilicon, solar wafers, cells and crystalline silicon and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film modules.
